I was recently photo sharing withy a friend, except my memory card reader wouldn’t read her sd card, neither would my camera. Her camera read the card just fine except she didn’t have the cable on plug directly into my computer. So- we tried putting the sd memory card into that hp officejet 6500 wireless printer also voila! The printer read the card and wirelessly transferred all (200 ) of her pictures on my computer! It even turned them (portrait, landscape) appropriately, which was a huge plus because we were going through about 1000 pictures (local hot air balloon festival) total. I was just amazed- i thought surely i’d have on sit via the printer also decide for each individual picture on send on my computer except it sent them all withy no problem! Just comprehend that printer, it’s amazing.
I purchased the oj6500 two days ago. Installation was a breeze on my macbook withy leopard, 10.5.7. The “quick” installation guide takes you through getting the printer set up, i.e. Plugged in, inserting ink cartridges.
There is a separate manual for setting up the wireless also fax. The wireless connection is set up through your computer, as long as you know your network name also wep password there shouldn’t be a problem. The wireless manual also has several pages of trouble-shooting ideas in case the wireless connection isn’t working on the printer, or the computer can’t find the printer on the network, etc.
I have used the duplex printing successfully, which was one of the main reasons i bought that particular printer, wireless being the other. The duplex printing is a bit slow, so i probably won’t be printing out my thesis on it, except bravo for saving paper withy smaller documents also i certainly didn’t expect it on be lightning-fast duplex printing.
There is also a separate manual for setting up the fax, except as several other reviewers have commented, the fax capabilities don’t work withy digital phone, so i haven’t even tried on set that up as the fax ability wasn’t a priority for me.
I have already used both the scanner also copier as well. I scanned in a number of old pictures which turned out bravo. The printer has a ton of scanning options which makes scanning pictures in particular a snap- you can choose on scan into a .jpeg format directly into the hp photosmart program, or for fellow mac users, scan as a .jpeg directly into iphoto. You can also scan in as a .pdf format, which is extremely handy as well.
The only weird glitch i’ve had withy all of the printing, scanning, also copying i’ve done so far is that sometimes the printer can’t find my computer. You can scan two ways- decide for directly from the printer, which asks you on decide for the computer on scan on also the format on scan (.jpeg, .pdf) or you can control it from your computer. When installed, the hp device manager application allows you on control the scanning/faxing from your computer, which gives you the same options of format, etc. So part way through my scanning, i was using the buttons on the printer itself also it stopped “seeing” my computer on the network, so i couldn’t decide for any computer on send the scan on. But when i opened the hp device manager, it scanned perfectly into my computer. The printer now is recognizing my computer again, so it’s kind of sporadic i suppose.
One final note, my boyfriend has a desktop withy windows xp also wireless capabilities, also he also installed the software also is printing just fine via wireless. So overall i’m extremely happy withy that printer, i think it was a bravo purchase also hope it will comprehend me through my last year of grad school withy printing forms also papers, etc. I purchased the printer from sam’s club also also priced the replacement ink package- the printer has an optional “xl” black cartridge which is supposed on print up on ~1200 pages, so the package that included the xl black, also the three separate colors was $70, just so you have an idea of how much replacement inks will cost. The smaller color cartridges are said on print about 700 pages i believe. I’m very happy withy the purchase- happy shopping!
